Q) If a user leaves a RP for some reason, should the GM have ultimate authority in what happens to the character, or should the creator? And if the creator, what if they make unreasonable demands that don't fit the story? Please feel free to post your answers in this thread!
If a user leaves a RP, the fate of their character is left in the hands of the GM because with or without them the story must go on. Since they will no longer be present to play their character, everyone must either forget he or she was there, or the GM takes control of the PC. Either way, they'll no longer be there to move their character along and it'll fall into the GM's hands, so it's the GM's call. If they want to write the character out of the RP, bring them back to use later on, or kill them, it's totally up to them since the player has left and is no longer a part of the RP. The players can make requests on how the character is written out, but if it doesn't fit the tone or theme then the GM has the right to decline.
